The Carder Steuben Club is seeking donated items for a fundraising raffle that will occur on Saturday evening, September 21 at the Symposium Club Dinner.

Donated items can be anything – tickets to an event, gift cards, lottery tickets, trips, hotel nights, dinners, gift baskets, subscriptions, and even glass pieces. Use your imagination!

This raffle will take the place of the Club’s auction, which has been moved to Friday evening.

If you have something that you would like to donate for this Club fundraising event, please contact John Stranges at: j63stranges@gmail.com
or Bill Mehlenbacher at: billantiq@gmail.com

“M” Handles Question

In about 1949 collector Oliver Eldridge made pastel drawings of pieces from his collection. This is marked “Pink Cluthra”. Today the color is called Rose Cluthra with Opaline Handles. The Shape is 8508.

Michael Krumme of California asks “So, the color of the handles on most of these pieces is “Opaline”? It looks like Alabaster to me. If that’s correct, what is the difference between these two colors?”
